Context-aware Fill does not work in Adobe Photoshop 27.4 beta 20260119.m.3380

Hi Cory,

Thanks for the follow-through.

It happened only with the beta version. But after browsing the Community
Forum I've seen it might be fixed by resetting the Preferences.

As a matter of fact it's enough to replace the file "Adobe Photoshop
(Beta) Prefs.psp" in the Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings folder to fix it.

Best regards,

Philippe

Hi @32643516 could you share some more info on what you are seeing?  What steps are you using when this happens? When did this first start for you, have you changed anything in your system or internet connections?

 

If you could share any screenshots or video of your workflow when this issue happens that would be great to see.

 

Do you have this issue with Ps Beta ONLY, or does it also happen with your Ps release version?

 

Make sure you are on the latest Ps Beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.4.0 20260119.m.3380 1a3ce4c arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)

 

Thanks,
